The Fountain of Health: An A-Z of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is the oldest system of preventive medicine in the world. It has become increasingly apparent that many of its techniques can offer a highly valuable alternative to Western medicine. Dr Charles Windridge presents a comprehensive survey of traditional Chinese medicine in all its branches, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, massage, meditation and healing exercises. He also covers the Chinese diet, which is an essential component of the Chinese approach to healthy living, and explores the relevant aspects of Chinese tradition and philosophy. The work is presented in an easy-to-use dictionary format.
